You can always order from TW-US... but there is always that frickin' tax to be payed when it arrives..... not to mention the time for delivery.....

BTW- how do the couriers (EU) calculate how much the receiver of the shipment will pay in extra-shipping tax.... I assume it is a percentage of the declared value of the goods being received and which country you reside in...

If you go above a tax free sum you pay a tax (depending on country) for the item based on it's declared worth (for example clothes here are 10-20% of what the clothes are worth) and then you pay VAT (depending on country, here 22%) but for the sum with the tax.

So the VAT isn't calculated based on declared worth of the package but declared value WITH tax.

P.S.: There are also the costs of actually calculating the taxes you need to pay.

Stefan, I don't think you need to stock a lot of Gosen strings, but at least OG Micro in 16 and 17g reels would do. There are plenty of people (even in Europe) using these strings, especially in hybrids.
